Scanner Gun hack screwy since patch?
ElviraGoth:
One of JM's hacks that I really rely on is the scanner gun hack. Hate having to look for that thing every time.
But since the patch, it seems like the sim using the gun will suddenly jump out of the action - I think it's happening when they're scanning something and another sim goes to use it, or maybe it's just when a sim walks by the object being scanned. Anyway, I tried removing the hack from my downloads folder and I haven't had it happen since.
I have the newest version (NL compatible) and have Uni and NL. Anyone else have this happen?
Motoki:
Hmm, I was using the gun last night (via macro > skillinator > cleaning) and didn't run into any problems. I just checked and I do have the scannergun hack in my downloads folder. I have Uni + NL and have applied the NL patch if that makes a difference.
Ancient Sim:
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the patch fixes the problem with the scanner gun. If so, it would probably cause problems to have the fix in as well.
Motoki:
In most cases where a patch or addon fixed a problem that a hack already fixed (ie jump bug etc) keeping the hack in is redundant but doesn't cause any problems. At any rate with the patch and the hack it seems to work fine for me so I don't think that's what's causing Elvira's problem although she could try taking the hack out. But does the patch really make them put it back down where they got it from? I didn't see that on the list of fixes but the uni list was huge so I may well have missed it.
ElviraGoth:
I just started having problems since I installed the NL patch. But not all the time. And I don't have it happen everytime someone uses it on a particular lot. Like sim 1 might use it for quite some time w/o problem, but sim 2 might only scan for a few sim minutes and jump out of it. It only seems to happen when another sim walks by.
Maybe it has to do with the sim's personality? (neatness?) Or skill level at the time? It does seem to be the ones who have low cleaning skills and low neatness (who I'm trying to add skill level to) who do this more.
I just want them to put it back on the table when they're done with it. If they're using it, and I cancel the action, they do return it to the table or desk like they should (with the hack in). But if they jumped out of the action on their own, it's on the ground where they're standing at the time.
JM - can you modify this hack for just "put it back where you got it from"?
